Reading~Fest
Patricia Hathaway, sixth-sem
ester arts and letters student, has
been named mistress of cere
monies of the fourth Pennsyl
vania Intercollegiate Reading
Festival r to be held at the Col
lege Thursday and Friday.
The four College students who
will read selections in the festi
val include Joada Oswalt, prose;
Betty Lou Morgan, drama; and
Constance Melvin- and Myron
Cole, poetry.
The sessions, to be held in 304
Old Main, will not be -judged.
Approximately 80 Pennsyl
vania colleges will be represented
at the festival, which was started
by the Speech department three
years ago. The purpose of the
sessions is to give students and
faculty the opportunity to hear
interpretations of some of the
best literary works which are
still popular.
Introductions to the readings
will, be given by Joseph F.
O’Brien, professor of public
speaking; Julia Arnold, eighth
semester student in journalism;
Madeleine Sharp, fifth-semester
student in .arts and letters; and
Margaret Troutman, a third
semester education student.
Dr. Robert T. Oliver, professor
of speech, will be the after
dinner speaker at the banquet to
be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at
the State College Hotel

seat. On the first day of the four
teenth week, however, the profes
sor went to the brief case for a
forgotten chlorophyll tablet, spot
ted Bottomley, and immediately
called on him for a 20-minute
recitation on the reign of Mitsu
hito in 19th century Japan. Bot
| tomley was dropped in dis
grace from Gamesman society.
A second prof play is the North
Korean Sneak. This involves the
Gamesman’s assuring himself of
a 'crack at least three sixteenths
of an inch wide between the door
and the doorframe, before the
lecture begins. The Gamesman
sets this up from the outside, and
then departs from the vicinity.
At some time during the hour
he applies his ear to the crack
and listens to only enough of the
lecture so that he can formulate
an Intelligent Question. Then, as
the class exits, he slips in, places
himself unobtrusively in the line
waiting to confer with the prof,
and, at the proper time, puts his
Question. The prof, while answer
ing, will absently erase the cut
mark from the student’s record.
(Harbison’s counter to this ploy
is, while interesting, rather tech
nical for an elementary course,
involving as it does the use of
concealed motion picture equip
ment.)
•Turning now to the, field of
extracurricular activities, it must
be remembered that one of
Gamesmanship’s basic tenets con
sists in being whatever you are
completely. Thus the collegiate
Gamesman may be either an All
Around Active or a Really Ser
ious Student, but he must be
either of these entirely. The Triple
A, as he will arrange to have his ■
friends call him, will spend a ’
great deal of his time showing
his real concern for acquaintances
who seem to be devoting too much
time to their studies. Smythe
Huntington of Upson Downs used
to find effective the meaningless
remark, “Yes, old man, but one
can’t get a three in one’s pay
check, you know.” Other effective
phrases are, “I believe college

Brazilian Attache
Addresses Club Group
The first Brazilian cultural at
tache ever sent to the United
States, Dr. Pedro Xisto, addressed
the first formal dinner meeting
of the Luso-Brazilian Club at
the Allencrest Tea Room Tuesday
night.
About 25 people heard Dr.
Xisto speak on “Some Aspects of
Modern Brazil.”
must train one to live with his
fellows,” and “Napoleon never
went to Harvard, after all.” The
AAA applies himself in secret to
avoiding just enough of his school
work so as to maintain an un
impaired 1 average. He is, of
course, never seen in public with
a book.
On the other hand, the Really
Serious Student is openly worried
about the future of the man in
volved in activities. In the friend
liest way possible, he quotes pure
ly imaginary figures which prove
beyond any doubt that the in
active student lives longer, earns
more, and wins more raffles than
his active colleague. Language of
the breed includes, “You can
learn to live on the waterfront,”
“Disraeli was never editor of a
yearbook,” and “Who remembers
the name of Praxiteles’ Discus
Thrower?”
This, then, concludes for
would-be Collegiate gamesmen.
In a few months we will em
bark upon a study of perhaps
even significance: "Recruitship,
or the art of enduring, the mili
tary life without turning one's
rifle on oneself."
Goodbye.
